Is this going to be synced up to be more reliable? Either in a next beta release or do we have to wait until the final release? My concern is that exposing the API, if you will, to things that don't *actually* work yet is making feature-detection nigh on impossible. I'd much rather have the implementation there and the API not exposed yet, than the other way around—which is what I'm currently encountering in Firefox 3.1b3. In contrast, Webkit currently supports a few things completely but the API to feature-detect them is incomplete. I much prefer this as it makes feature detection more robust and reliable, as opposed to risky, fragile and unreliable. Any elaboration on this is much welcomed :) Thanks, Faruk
